In my first episode as the host of the 2nd season of Autocracy in America, I speak with last year's host, author @anneapplebaum, about how democracies fall, US resistance, and my experience fighting to stop it from happening in Putin's Russia. theatlantic.com/podcasts/archi…

The fix is in. It is absolute malpractice and ineffective assistance of counsel to let your convicted client do this during a pending appeal—unless you have a prior agreement already worked out. Which they clearly do.

My tweets about Kharkiv feel almost invisible today. I keep retweeting them over and over again so the world doesn’t miss what russia is doing to civilians there. Please don’t scroll past. Let it be seen.
❗️The number of injured in russian aerial attack on Kharkiv has risen to 42, among them six children and two pregnant women.
russia is economically, morally, and demographically rotten to the core. Is it still dangerous? Yes. But the threat multiplies when the world is too polite, too naïve, or too afraid to confront an aggressor. #ArmUkraineToWin
After five years, my husband @tsikhanouski_s is finally free, and our family is reunited. But many others remain behind bars. We spoke with @markmackinnon at @globeandmail about our reunion, our hopes, and how we continue the fight for a free Belarus. theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…
This may be an oversimplification, but here goes: I want the enemies of freedom -- Putin, Xi, et al. -- to tremble before the U.S. government. I don't want Americans -- whatever I think of them -- to tremble before the U.S. government.

Why is there so little talk about the humanitarian aid blocked BY Hamas? About the ceasefire negotiations that are broken off each time BECAUSE of Hamas’s increasing demands ? Why all the pressure on #Israel & NOT on #Hamas to lay down its arms and release the remaining hostages?
So he's not wrong!

🚨 Russian fascists send kidnapped Ukrainian children turning 18 to the front line in Ukraine. Estimated to be in the thousands. Ukrainian soldiers discovered the Ukrainian teenagers' corpses on the battlefields. These kids would have been 14 at the time of abduction in 2022.
🚨 🚨 🚨 THE WEST MUST ACT: Ukrainian children stolen by the Russian fascists are being indoctrinated. Over 700,000 kids stolen. Are you prepared to watch an army of hundreds of thousands of brainwashed Ukrainians being sent to fight against their homeland in several years?

Tulsi Gabbard is not competent enough to serve as DNI. She's distracting the public from the Epstein files to try and save her job.
.@AmbJohnBolton on @DNIGabbard: "I think what is clearly motivating her here is not just to help distract from the Epstein matter, but to help save her job." @kasie
The National Education Association has decided to decolonize the Holocaust. This is literally what the Soviets did as they erased Jews from the history of Nazism so entirely that generations of Russians grew up thinking Jews were either cowardly bystanders or Nazi collaborators.
The regime wants to hang her to make an example. The death sentence of #Pakhshan_Azizi has been confirmed for the third time. She is one of many brave women the Islamic Republic is trying to punish for the “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising. And yet… the free world still does…
Russia is weaponizing migration to destabilize Europe, using violence and human trafficking networks in Libya. Western intelligence considers Russia’s actions in Africa—especially in Libya—the second-most urgent threat after its war in Ukraine. united24media.com/world/putins-m…
Reminds me of this
No, Ukraine and russia are not the same country or even people. Next question.
Russian trolls and Kremlin propaganda are once again claiming that the Soviet occupation somehow brought economic growth to the Baltic states. Anyone who actually lived under Soviet rule knows how laughable that is. Still — here’s one chart that tells the whole story. This is…
No one with a brain.
Russian diplomats are now promoting the anniversary of Moscow’s 1940 occupation of the Baltic states, which was made possible by the Soviet alliance with Nazi Germany. Does anyone still seriously believe Putin’s imperial ambitions end at Ukraine?
The question that will be asked in the history books of the future is: why did Europe just stand by and watch? russia attacked Ukraine overnight with missiles and drones – destruction and fires were reported in several regions. Odesa – The famous Privoz market was partially…
